I exclusively use Os X on my Apple Laptop and I am very intrigued by the progress that is being made with Os X86. However, I'm not 100% sure I could use Os X86 on my AMD Computer as my primary OS (and not spend $2,000+ on a Apple Desktop). So I'm curious as to how many people here use Os X86 as their primary OS. And if so, is it a pretty stable and reliable OS?

Primary and only OS, very stable. Feels exactly the same like a real Mac.

Awesome, So far I've had decent luck with my system. I still haven't gotten all of the kinks ironed out, so hopefully by the time Rev. 2 comes out I'll get this machine up and running purely with Os X. =D

Because it takes you soooo long to re-install! That's why!
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...
